With a passion for restaurants and more than 30 years of experience in the food industry, Papa Elie and his son Ziad were able to create a unique family business: ZEEZ.
Ziad began his career at hospitality school and pursued a specialization in culinary arts at the Paul Bocuse Institute in France to later work in the most prestigious hotels and restaurants. Ziad is the creator of the ZEEZ menu and is responsible for quality assurance. Filled with energy and passion, you will always see him dedicated to providing the best customer service.
Papa Elie is a master of management and organization with an entrepreneurial career spanning more than 40 years. A pillar of the company, he always ensures that everything is in order and that the shift runs smoothly. In fact, you'll probably see him working on his computer at a ZEEZ table.
ZEEZ's mission is to create moments of pleasure through delicious burgers. Elie and Ziad's goal is not only to offer quality burgers using fresh, homemade ingredients, but also to make them accessible to Montrealers by offering affordable prices. 🧡
ZEEZ comes across as a small and lively spot where smash burgers shine, with favorites like chili burger and mushroom melt, tasty sides and even poutine, plus complimentary popcorn while you wait, friendly service, and good value with student discounts and a loyalty vibe, though seating is limited and it can get busy.
I don't understand the great reviews, I felt that the meal was extremely disappointing. The burger sauces were fine, but they use spring mix as lettuce & there was a soggy tomato in mine. Didn't love the meat either. Then I had a side of poutine & there was almost no gravy & I couldn't even tell if they used real cheese curds or mozzarella cheese. I did get it delivered but I live 4 min from the restaurant & it was made & delivered so quickly that I can't imagine it would have deteriorated that much. I do not recommend at all, there are way better smash burgers in the city.
I have tried zeez for a few times now & everytime I went I was impressed with how the staff is welcoming & kind, great customer service! They even give out popcorn while you wait for your burgers! I recommand the mushroom melt & the zeez potatoes! Real smash burgers that are cruspy & juicy at the same time! Perfection.
Vraiment excellent comme nourriture ! J'ai essayé plusieurs smash burgers à Montréal & c'est de LOIN les meilleurs que j'ai mangés Très frais, bonnes portion & bon prix Le personnel était vraiment serviable, je reviendrais assurément
I firstly want to say, I love how late this restaurant is opened. The staff was great & the service was quick for how busy it was! That being said, I have definitely had better burgers. The burger itself was good, but the grease that was emanating from this thing was out of this world. The potatoes were a solid 5 though. I would definitely come back if I was craving some greasy food hella late, but it would not be my first choice for a smash burger.
As an American I can confidently say this is one of the best smash burgers I have ever had. The service was fast & the burger was the perfect size, & wasn't a mess at all. Would definitely recommended this place to anyone looking for a great burger.

Extremely delicious burgers, very happy to see halal smash burger in the middle of the plateau. Also loved the complimentary popcorn! Highly recommended!
We had a BBQ Crunch & a Chilli Crisp burger. Both smash burgers cooked really well, nice ratio of sauce. Brioche bun was fine. Also had some popcorn. Server was really friendly despite them being rammed & having a large order & lots of people walking in
Ah Zeez! Merci d'être ouvert jusqu'à 6h du matin. Merci d'être le meilleur late night spot à Montréal. Merci pour un service bien amical & surtout un merci pour non seulement des smash burgers halal, mais en plus un des meilleurs à Montréal. Le fait que maintenant j'peux recommander un vrai bon smash burger a mes amis qui mange halal, fait vrm game changer! Longue vie à Zeez!
As a burger enthusiast with high standards, I can confidently say this place excels in the burger game (in my top 3 all over the world). The patties are perfect-crispy on the edges & incredibly juicy. The flavor is outstanding. The sauce & toppings are well-balanced, & the bread is fantastic. It checks every box. The smash potatoes are a brilliant & delicious innovation that sets them apart, though I do wish they would fry them a bit longer. Bravo to the team! ---
Great smash burgers. I've been there twice already. Had the classic & chili crisp. Both great. I prefer the classic. The chili crisp loses some of the beefy flavor. I will be going many times more. I already tried going a third time but they were closed. That's how good the burgers are, at the writing of this review, I've only known about the place for 2 weeks.
C'est pas "DEEEGEULASSE". Mais c'est pas le meilleur Smash que j'ai manger. Le concept es cool. C'est Jolie à l'intérieur du resto. La serveuse on dirait qu'elle était Geler sur l'acid. Elle comprenait rien dutout. On dirait des Français qui sont propriétaires alors peut être à cause de mon accent... je sais pas mais je m'en fou. A la base le resto es un resto de Burger & j'ai pas vraiment aimer. Burger champignon 3.5/5 Burger classic 3/5 Fritte 2.5/5 Merci pour l'expérience ! Allez essayer ZEEZ !!! C'était mon avis. Peut être que vous allez adoré !
